Danny Grewcock is in danger of missing England's potential Grand Slam decider against Ireland after being cited for two offences of striking another player during a Zurich Premiership game.

The Bath captain has been summoned to appear before a Rugby Football Union disciplinary panel at a Gatwick Airport hotel on Tuesday night.

He must answer two separate striking charges - incidents which allegedly happened in each half of Bath's 27-10 home defeat against Northampton last Saturday.

Grewcock, capped 38 times by England, also faces a complaint of unsporting behaviour, which is thought to relate to him ripping up Northampton lock Mark Connors' scrum cap following a first-half wrestling match between the players that led to both being sin-binned by referee Roy Maybank.
